Lead for North Carolina at the UNC School of Government reposted this
The Lead for NC Program is an amazing way to see NC Local Government from the inside. So glad that Talula was able to join us for the year. Her initiative and drive will take her anywhere she wants to go! See you soon!
As I wrap up my time in Columbus County, I'm reflecting on an incredible experience. I've gained valuable skills in financial reporting and developed a profound appreciation for public service and local government workers. I've had the privilege of contributing to several impactful projects, including water equity and expansion, mobile home park tenants' rights, local government financial compliance, flood plain mapping, and so many more. A huge thank you to Lead for North Carolina at the UNC School of Government especially G. Dylan Russell and Liam Hysjulien for selecting me to participate in this program. Your support has been invaluable, you both are awesome. And thank you to my entire cohort, who have all become excellent friends of mine, I’m excited to see you all thrive in the future! Special thanks to Lacie Jacobs who has been an exceptional supervisor, mentor, and friend. Your work ethic and welcoming nature are inspirational, you truly are a role model to me. #seahawks #forever As I embark on my next chapter to pursue a JD at University of San Diego School of Law ,I will carry these lessons with me. Thank you to everyone I've met along the way who has supported and guided me—I appreciate you all! Godspeed Columbus County, I will remember these places and faces forever ♥️
Amazing strides! Keep being great Talula, we wish you the best.
Lacie Jacobs Thank you so much for being such an incredible leader and mentor for Talula Dechev! We are so excited that Elijah Turner-Dobson will be working with you all this fall!
